1 John 3:18 NIV
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.

I believe that was why Jesus was quick to tell Peter: "Feed my lambs" In other word, "If you love me, feed my sheep." Love is an action word! For God so loved the world that He gave.... He loved, and so He gave.

Jesus said: "Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you" (John 15:14). If ye do!

How could couples stay together and they won't talk to each other? Have you spoken with Him today? Jesus want your time and attention. Start and end your day with Him. He had poured out His heart in some letters to you. You can call them 'Love letters'. The letter is your bible. In it are instructions, warnings, guidance, promises and assurances, wisdom, life, all you need. Read them. You know how excited you get when you see an SMS or watzapp message from your spouse, fiancé or fiancée. Yes, we are the bride, Jesus is the bridegroom. Love Him in deeds. Keep His commandments.
